Bills and legislation

The Immigration Bill was announced on 8 May 2013 in the Queen’s Speech. The bill is expected to be passed in March 2014. It will reform the removals and appeals system, making it easier and quicker to remove those with no right to be in the UK.

The immigration rules describe the entry requirements and laws for staying in the UK.
